Behaviour of reffacelow and labeldown in the buildlayers command

General Discussion
1

Hello,
I needed to build a simple tent-like mesh3, by extruding a triangle along the z-axis using the buildlayers command. The tet mesh as such is fine but I need to set the labels of the vertices and triangles at the bottom z=0 and at the top z=length to “outer” in order for the Dirichlet boundary conditions to be applied correctly.
As I understood, this is what the argument labeldown and/or reffacelow of the buildlayers command are for, but neither of them succeed setting the labels of the vertices at z=0 to the label “outer”. Furthermore, I have a hard time understanding the difference in purpose between these two arguments.
In the following script, I expect the labels to be “couted” as label=2 but they come out as either 0 or 6 (which, by the way is a label that I didn’t define - what is its meaning?)
Thank you.
PS: trying func newlabel = (z < 0.01 ) ? outer : label; Th=change(Th, flabel= newlabel);also didn’t change the labels. Are they readonly for some reason?
